Shaedon Sharpe

I might be completely ignorant but I've noticed a huge uptick on people wanting to select Shaedon Sharpe (some have him as our top prospect even if we get #1 pick).

He hasn't played at a high collegiate or G-league level so its difficult to assess how he'd perform. When we have great evidence for a guy like Jabari Smith to transition into the NBA.

Sharpe was the highest ranked guard at the start of this year iirc. As a comparison a guy like Jaden Hardy was similarly ranked before the year started, his year in the G-league highlights some of his efficiency flaws (and therefore he has dropped to a late 1st round pick). Without the evidence, can we really afford to pass on guys like Chet, Jabari or Banchero if we are in that position.

​

I'd just like to hear the argument for why we should pass up on those guys, especially when we could be at the turning point for this franchise if we get the right pick to pair with this young core.

Beyond crazy physicals/vertical why should we take Sharpe?
